Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams | Matthew Walker

pick

While I liked this it just reiterates the need for
solid restful sleepy. I like that this included information regarding the availability and results of taking sleep medications. Hopefully this will help further research.

Einstein's Dreams | Alan Lightman

pick

I read this back in college around 30 years ago and loved it; I‘ve had this copy since. I was a bit hesitant to reread it because what if I wasn‘t happy with it? Lucky for me, it remains lovely. Then, around age 20, it was clearly about time. Now, looking down the barrel of 50, it‘s clearly about mortality. Isn‘t that interesting?

#WinterCampLitsy ❄️🏕️📚 My nominees are... 🥁

I believe The Dream Hotel might have been on my noms for summer camp? ☺️ And yes, you'll notice that I try very hard to nominate/vote women authors. I know Mobius won't likely be on the winning slate but I haven't read enough! #ToB

tpixie The Correspondent was one of my 2 favorite books of 2025! Also

Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life | Sharon Blackie

bailed

Having been warned about the anti trans sentiments in this book I‘m choosing to send it back without reading.

ravenlee Good to know; unstacking this now. 1mo

Darklunarose @ravenlee I honestly wish that books had warning labels, and/or there was a website where you could find a list of books that are full of undesirable things….like transphobia, homophobia, etc. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Yiiiiiikes. Off my list for sure. Thanks for the heads up. 1mo

Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life | Sharon Blackie

I have been wanting to read this for a long time….going to try a chapter every so often and get it down. I‘m close to my crone era.

Clare-Dragonfly I‘ve been curious about this book. Let us know how you like it! 1mo

Bookwomble If you are Trans supportive, please be aware that this author is not, and that reviewers say one of the chapters in this book explicitly reflects that. 1mo

Darklunarose @Bookwomble I‘m sitting here with the book open and about to start it this morning. Thank you so much for this warning. I‘m more than just passively supportive of the trans community, I‘m ferociously supportive. I have people in my circle who are trans. I refuse to do anything that would not be supportive. This one is now going in the discard pile. Thank you so much for that! I don‘t do abelism, lgbtqia hate, racism, misogyny, etc. 1mo

Bookwomble @Darklunarose 🩵🩷🤍💖 I was reading a different book by this author and struggling with the writing style, so looked up reviews to check how others found it, and then saw the comments about this book, which were generally positive about the content until the terfy chapter, when many people bailed. Sad, but there are undoubtedly other books on the subject that are more inclusive ✊ 1mo

Darklunarose @Bookwomble im going to keep looking. At 46 im sure im close to perimenopause…..and id like something from a spiritual side as i move into my crone era to read. But not at the cost of terf bs. 1mo

Dream Hotel | Laila Lalami

So close to being done w this book. It is so good. But it‘s a lot right now - it‘s a lot of “wait, is this supposed to be *speculative* fiction??” It‘s intense. And, look, I don‘t 💯 agree w the main character, but I do *know* her. She‘s pretty much my mom…. 😅

Also enjoying (tho struggling w focus) the 🧙🏼‍♀️ book.

And guys! 2 more Holiday swaps!! Wish I could do them all, but I have *done* them all and you should too!! 🎄🎁🤡❤️🖤
